Version:
Creates a
presumption for workers' compensation purposes that diseases of the heart in
firefighters and law enforcement officers were proximately caused by and
resulted from the nature of the person's employment if certain conditions are
met. Exempts injuries caused by disease
of the heart from certain time limitations applicable to workers' compensation
claims. Establishes a process for
regular physical examinations of firefighters and law enforcement officers to
reduce heart disease risks.
